Does anyone know what the rules are around using short clips from PPA matches in social media content? Not talking about reposting full matches, just short clips with edits/commentary. Is this generally allowed? Do you need permission? Has anyone run into issues using PPA footage? Just trying to understand what the boundaries are before I move forward.

I have a Joola Hyperion that’s like 2-3 years old and is basically one big dead spot. I saw this on marketplace, apparently it’s used for 3 months with no dead spots. Is it worth risking it on a used paddle?

Some of the few things I noticed between the fake and original is 1) Bring the smoke cover is white on fake 2) Theres no "Pickleball Co." underneath the Bread & Butter name on top 3) Scribbly lines on fakes go all the way down to the grip while the original stops on the Pbcore 0.43 4) Fakes appear shiny while the original is matte 5) The logo on the paddle band on fakes look elongated while the original isnt

Google and his PPA profile have him listed at 6'1 but looking at him next to Gabe has him appearing 3 to 4 inches shorter so I just don't believe he's 6'1. Anyone met him to confirm?
I saw someone mention the code **“PAIKA”** for PPA tournaments and was wondering if anyone here has actually used it? I think it’s supposed to work for stuff like Zion Cup, Newport, Sacramento, maybe even finals, but not 100% sure how legit it is. If it does work, seems like it takes a bit off registration / tickets, which would be nice. Curious if anyone’s tried it yet or knows if it’s still active?

My wife and I went to the PPA Veolia Texas Open and it was such a surreal experience seeing the pros in person. If you're on the fence about going to a tour stop, just do it. The proximity is the craziest part. We had courtside tickets for the championship court and you’re literally just a few feet away, but honestly, the Grandstand court felt even closer. You don’t realize how fast these guys actually play until you’re right there. Their hand speed is insane, footwork is next level, and the en...

Veolia Texas Open PPA Tour
As I'm nearing or even at 4.0 now but still play with a lot of 3.5's it's become very apparent that one of the big separators is decision making. For the 3.5's I see a lot of speeding up balls they should drop, dink, or reset. I see a lot of straight ahead speedups to opponents waiting for it. They serve and then immediately wander into the transition zone hoping for a shallow return and then have to back pedal to hit the third. Dropping wide over and over and hitting half of them into the net...
The Best Dressed Pros at the PPA Texas Open 2026 The Dink Pickleball
At the PPA Texas Open, pros battled some of the windiest conditions yet. The weather didn’t stop them from competing hard and still bringing their best looks to the court.
I just went to the PPA site to check scores, and it doesn’t even show the women brackets at all. I’m aware of the weather delay, but what does that mean? I assume the game didn’t take place, is that right? Does anybody have any more info??
Hey everyone! We are excited to announce our next ama with a Selkirk sponsored pro, Rafa Lenhard!

Please join us on Thursday, 3/19 at 6pm eastern to ask him any burning questions that come to mind!

I got two pairs of PB5star sneakers for Christmas. Already burned through one pair and the second one is already showing signs of slippage. Such an annoying reality because they look great and feel tremendous, almost like trendy basketball sneakers when you play with them. BUT the soles don’t seem to be made durable (like Sketchers with Goodyear or Bobolat with Michelin tires material). Anyone else have the same issue? I play about 6 hours a week on an indoor court but two sneakers in almost ...
Gusting Winds Wreak Havoc, but ALW Still Grabs a Triple Crown - PPA Texas Open Recap The Dink Pickleball
Crazy rally between Jorja Johnson / Tyra Black and Parris Todd / Rachel Rohrabacher from the PPA Newport semifinals. The resets and defense in women’s pro doubles are unreal!
I’ve been playing since 2013 and this is a first for me 🤣 would’ve loved a DUPR reset between games 1 and 3 Update: [Picklewave.com](http://Picklewave.com) confirmed that this is the only triple pickle in their database of matches! So apparently this has never happened at the pro level!
The tournament, part of the PPA Asia 1000 series, will take place April 1–5 at the My Dinh Indoor Athletics Arena. Waters is scheduled to compete in women’s doubles alongside Anna Bright and in mixed doubles with Ben Johns.
I witnessed an unpleasant convo between non-advanced player who happened to partner with an advanced one that ended up a lost game. The loss pretty much caused by the non-advanced one to the extend the advanced one couldn’t help but said to his partner such thing “I think you should play down, I can’t “baby” someone during the game”. I completely appalled hearing such comment. Do you think the inexperienced one should not come and play in advance designated courts in the first place? And ...
What would you think about the PPA hosting an indoor (hardwood/gym surface) tournament? Could be like the French Open of pickleball.
